WASHINGTON - Former Gov. Mark Sanford was paid $130,000 as a contributor to Fox News last year before he became a candidate for Congress, according to his latest personal financial disclosure report filed with the U.S. House.

Sanford won a special election in May to represent the 1st Congressional District. Like all members of Congress, he is required to annually disclose information about his income and assets for the preceding calendar year. Declared candidates for Congress also must file the reports.
